Joshua (Josh) Rosamond became the McKnight Foundation’s investment operations analyst in 2020. He has worked at the Foundation in various finance and accounting roles since 2014. In his evolving role on the Investment team, he manages McKnight’s investment operations, playing a lead role in investment strategy and execution, fund data management, and process design.

In addition, Josh worked with the team to build the Foundation’s direct private investments program, implementing more than 90 new investments. Today, the Foundation is a leader in impact investing, and is seeking more opportunities to align the endowment with its 2050 Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions target.
